Visualisation issues even after changing gfx.direct2d.disabled to be true

I had a really weird defect rendering text and pictures. Searched in the net and found out the resolution to change the value of gfx.direct2d.disabled from false to true. Things went better and now I see pages well. However I still discover issues especially with drop-down menus - I can't see any of them. Also if for example my download finishes the little pop-up window which appears at the bottom right corner is visualized in the same manner - blurred white-blue lines with nothing that can be distinguished. I'd be glad if I could send you a snapshot. The problem does not persist in other browsers , so it's not a hardware one.

Hello, toggle the gfx.direct2d.disabled to false again, and toggle the gfx.content.azure.enabled to false, and check firefox again, otherwise try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox, go from Firefox button > Options Oprions > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available" [ ].

thank you

Thank you dude, toggling the specified files did not help but removing the tick from Use hardware acceleration when available did it. You really made my day :)
